First Spam Comment!

Well I don't know if it's a sign of the massive popularity of this blog or not ;-) but I just received my first spam comment. Since it both complimented my blog AND had a link for some unsavory activities in Atlanta, I suspect the poster was somewhat insincere when writing "you have a great blog!" I suppose my other clue was that the comment came in for a post that only just went live. Then again, maybe I have misjudged the demographic of those people who may be reading the blog - perhaps the poster really did add me to his(?) bookmarks.

Anyway, I deleted the comment, but if this becomes an issue I will disallow anonymous posts. I allow them because it is the easiest way for someone to post, but it clearly has its downsides. Since I don't really have comments rolling in, anyway I don't think there will be any harm done. We'll see.

"Spam, spam, spam, spam..."
